Terrible Tragedy Enacted on AN Indiana
Farm.
WARSAW, IND, Feb. "a terrible
tragedy which occurred about ten miles
northeast of this place came to light yes
terdaV. A party of hunters on their re
turn home happened to pass farmers
residence named Ira Durham, in Tippe-
canoe township, when they came upon
his mutilated remains in lane near his
house. They instantly started to alarm
the neighbors and did not enter the house
until after their arrival. On opening the
door they discovered little two-year-
old girl with her throat cut from ear to
ear and Mrs. Durham near by alive, but
so badly cut as to render her insensible
Dunham's body was so badly torn by the
hogs as to make it impossible to ascer-
tain how he was killed. 1t is the opinion
that Mrs. Durham will recover and throw
some light on the subject of the tragedy.
At present it is thought Durham, in tit
of temporary insanity, committed the
deed and then put an end to his own life.

tbs Clerk OF tho Municipal Criminal Court
Of Boston shcrt 5000 900.
BosToN, MASS, Feb. ct is learned
that John C. Leighton, for nineteen years
clerk of the Municipal Criminal court il
this city, is short in his accounts to
large amount. The exact sum o. the defal-
cation will not De known until the expert,
now engaged on the books, completes his
labors. 1t is stated, however, by City
Auditor Dodge that the total will be per
haps 100000 or more. Leighton was
appointed in 1887 and held office up to
within sort time ago. In the court in
which he served, thousands of criminal
cases are tried annually, and the money
received for fines and costs is all turned
over to the clerk who is supposed to de-
post it with the City Treasurer of Bos-
ton, who is also County Treasurer. 1t is
said the present Auditors predecessor
had not audited the accounts OF this
court for years, as implicit confidence
seems to have been placed in Clerk
Leighton. For many years ne has beer
known only as an honored and respected
citizen, and the blow will be severe
one. What he did with oil the money he
has taken is a mystery to his friends.
His habits of life were rot extravgggut,
and he had uo family.

that the discrepancy in Lalghtoa's &C

BUILDING AS AN INVESTMENT.

There are very few among those who
own property in the business part of our
town who seem to realize the profits OF
building as an investment Could those
who hold back for fear that they viii not
make enough on the outlay, only get an
insight into the workings of similar affairs
in most of the Eastern cities of about the
same size as this, they would immedi-
ately conclude that they had struck a
snap when they got hold OF a
building site in the business part
OF this city. The fact is that
investments in business buildings in this
city bring profits from three to six times
as great as a similar investment in
Eastern cities of the same size. In many
OF the Eastern towns five per cent. is
considered good interest on an invest
ment of this kind, while here property
owner considers himself abused if he
don't get thirty per cent. on every dollar
he lays out. Now. there is no risk run
here and you can be sure of drawing
greater profits than YOU can from any
other investment of as much safety.
Good buildings will always pay here if
poor ones don't, and you can be assured
that by putting one fourth extra on q
house to beautiiy it you will double
the profit.

TRUE JOURNALISM.

Every avocation in life has its duties
and responsibilities. In every calling is
found true merit and false assumption.
The newspaper representative in chsrac-
ter has wide field of operation and dis
tinguishes itself only in the performance
of it's legitimate functions. All of its en-
deavors must he earnest; all of its acts
honorable; all its criticisms just; ali of
its teachings tempered with manliness
and conservatism. The representative
journal is compassed with Gordon of
responsibilities. Each responsibility has
its duty, and each duty its allotted task
to perform. In its legitimate sphere of
action it has to deal with world of man
kind, in its complexity of phases, giving
unto every man his just dues, and unto
every word and work an honorable and
fair recognition. If it stops short of this
it is recreant to its trust and unfaithful to
its mission.-Portland Neps.

OBTUSENESS.

The Provo american comes to the
front with the following paragraph which
we reproduce as the most remarkable bit
OF obtuseness that has been sprung on US
in long time:
HE SALT LAKE DEMOCRAT seems deter
mined to nominate an exclusively Demo-
cratic ticket, and refuse all propositions for
joint ticket and campaign. In the event
OF It's success IN that aim 1t should be per
mitted to bear the credit of the certain de-
feat.
1t must have taken very hard study to
evolve this out of what The DEMOCRAT
has said from time to time on the subject
OF fusion ticket, but some editors seem
to be born that way and they should call
forth pity rather than contempt. If the
editor Of the american would come out
OF his shell and read this paper occasion
ally, he could not help seeing that THE
DEMOCRAT has been working with all its
energies toward the amicable settlement
OF this very question. 1t has taken the
stand that both Of the National parties
should be equally represented in the
tight against the common enemy, and it
has been struggling to gain this desir-
able end. The American says that we
refuse all propositions for joint ticket
and campaign" when, in fact, the only
proposition of this kind that has come to
light was made by the men and by the
party that We represent. The central
committees OF both the Republican and
Liberal parties have rejected the offer of
an equitable unity, made by the Demo
Gratis, and now we "should be permitted
to bear the credit of certain defeat"
TIE DEMOCRAT does not believe it
necessary for its party TO lose its identity
in order TO vote against an enemy with
another party, any more than it is neces-
sary for two nations to renounce their ma
tivity in order to unite their forces against
a common foe. Our reasons for taking
this stand in the matter have been ex-
planned time and again, and no one who
has read them can fail to see that the
course we have taken is the most prac-
ticable one-the only one, in fact, by
which, under the circumstances, the
Gentiles Of this county can hope for sue
csss.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

An exchange advances the opinion
that the settlement of the Indian problem
has been found in the allotment, in
severalty, of lands to them by the Gov
ernment, aud the idea that a proper
division will bring the red men up stand
ing in the end, is very reasonable one.
The Government gives them the aid they
need in the start, but after that they are
obliged to work or starve, and if they
take the former alternative they are
likely to be converted into self-support-
ing people. Let them once realize, as
their white neighbors do, that it is case
or work or die, and the "honest Injun"
will get him onto his potato patch and
work like q gopher.

A MASS CONVENTION.

The result CT the conference between
the Democratic and Liberal County Com
mittees last evening was fizzle. Moth
ing else could have been expected when
it was known beforehand that members
of the Republican and Liberal Commit
tees had been in consultation and a pro-
gramme agreed upon. There is not q
doubt but the same person dictated the
Republican declination and the Liberal
acceptance of the Democratic Commit
tees invitations. Both were written upon
Colonel HOLSTERS Internal Revenue
Department letter heads, and both
might have borne the same hand writing,
so far as any division of purpose or
identity was concerned. The represen-
tative of the Republican Committee con-
cluded that the partisan ends of the fac
ton which he leads could be better ac-
complished through the Liberal than the
Republican Committee. The refusal OF
the Liberal Committee to yield to the
reasonable request of the County repre-
sentatives of the dominant party of the
Nation will make the former responsible
for whatever results may follow.
While the members admitted the
justice of fair division
of the nominations between
the two National parties, they refused to
act in concert with any movement where
by the Democrats might choose their
own representatives upon the tickets.
Knowing as they did and as they admitted,
that the anti-Mormon vote would be in
creased by permitting the Democrats to
select their own men, they would not
Weld an inch, make any concession
or suggest any method by which
consolidated vote could be secured.
The only reasonable inference is, that
they regard defeat under the old method
preferable to victory attained by any re-
cognition whatever of the Democratic
party. The Democratic Committee hav-
ing exhausted all of their efforts in at
tempting to secure harmonious action of
the anti-Mormon element, have adopted
the only course consistent with the prin-
ciples and the dignity of the party they
represent. They have called mass con-
vention of the Democrats of the county
and left it for them to decide upon the
proper course to be pursued under the
circumstances.

GOULD'S PATRIOTISM

Jay Gould has purchased and pre-
sented to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as
sociation piece of property adjoining
the historic estate which they needed to
prevent the encroachment of modern
buildings in that locality The gift is a
patriotic one, and deserves mention. Yet
the sum paid is so small that his
patriotism rather than his generosity
should be commended. He did not,
however, lose anything on the
deal, for it was not many hours later that
he had jumped on the New York stock
market and fleeced Field of his Man
haitian stock. Taking the weeks trans
actions altogether, Gould was a trife
ahead.
